MP5 variants

Throughout the series the SPG officers can be seen with what appear to be MP5 Variants at first, but on closer inspection appear to be modified prop guns, almost a combination of an HK94 'Chopped & Converted' barrel inside an MPSD3 hand-guard for some reason. These MP5 variants are never actually seen to be fired during the series thus it is possible they are "non-guns".

In the episode "Double Play" a tactical officer exits an unmarked 4WD armed with what appears to be a faux MP5. When the tactical officers open fire only CAR-15/M16A1's and shotguns are seen in the hands of the officers.
